This morning during devotions with the staff at the Ark (Okahandja) our walk with Nehemiah lead us to look at the topic of PLANNING.. I reminded our staff that devotions are the time to become stimulated spiritually and mentally rather than do full exhaustive study of a topic. There were three things that we looked at this morning.. The staff were also encouraged to make time later to thnk about what we touch on during our devotions.
WHY PLAN ?
1. Because God does ! Jer 29:11; 1 Cor 14:33
2. God Commands it ! 1 Cor 14:40; Prov 4:26; Prov 16:9
3. It's good stewardship ! Eph 5:15-17
I reminded them that wise leaders MAKE TIME FOR THINK TIME !
We all agreed that whilst we see Planning as Biblically mandated we were unanimous in our agreement that our planning must NEVER seek to remove God's involvement and that all we do hinges on God actually guiding us in the planning process and ultimately endorsing our plans by anointing them to succeed.
Tomorrow (Thursday) we will complete our cursory look into this topic and deal with with the practical aspects of planning..
Tomrrow is a significant day in that it marks the beginning of the meeting of the International Board of Christ's Hope. With an extremely full agenda, please would you pray that our board members would remain focused, they enjoy good health and that God would give wisdom to them all as they debate and make decisions for the continued growth and strengthening of Christ's Hope. The Meeting starts tomorrow in the UK at 8:00am (U.K. time) and will end on the 4th November..
Thanks for joining and supporting us in this way...
